Realistic Timetable for USO change

[michael147]

We were given some more info this morning to the effect that....
Some rurals will not be classified as rurals!
It will be largely due to distance and area covered.
For example a duty which actually takes nearly 30 minutes to get to will not be a rural as when you get there it is in fact very compact.
It covers a large village and a few outlying farms.
Also a `late summer` date was mooted.

Knowing RM the timescale will slip and it will be rolled out Black Friday week.

If you've been given some more info about the delivery side, hopefully we'll get some more info in the next few days about what changes will happen to the MC side.

This needs to be spread far and wide. The public need to be made aware of this nonsense. Royal Mail are breaking the terms of the USO with the blessing of the union. Trialling it is one thing, rolling it out before the regulator has agreed anything is another. Get the clowns that run the country involved by signing this. It’s a proper government petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701850

What do you think they've been doing since the pandemic?

This next phase is completely different to the “bending of the rules” due to “operational necessity” that’s been going on since the pandemic. It’s actively planning to roll out a permanent cut to services across the country BEFORE the regulators official report. The union AND RM are talking like it’s a done deal. Perhaps it’s a done deal in the upper echelons of the union and RM but they shouldn’t be allowed to by pass the law.

Where is it being "rolled out"?

They mean they'll try to do it

Who are "they" in "they mean"?
What evidence is there that anything is going to be rolled out before the regulator has agreed?

Time will tell but the language used is key. They talk of Trials and Pilots. They're not the same thing. I may be wrong but I have a feeling they will get "positive feedback" from the offices currently earmarked for the trials and then push it out across the country starting April. I hope im wrong but they've invested a lot of time and money into this for it just be tested in a few offices. Massive job cuts aren't far away. They'll cut the union loose when the purchase has been completed.

Ward et al lost their bottle & sold us out in the last dispute & now doing exactly the same to the whole British public. Thing is when these fellas are on their death beds they’ll know what they did & will take the failure of the one thing they had to do with them!!!
